Manitou Springs Middle School
Friday, August 27th, 2021
Dear Mustang Families,
We are off to a strong start to the school year at Manitou Springs Middle School! The amount of growth students have shown in one week has been tremendous. Students have learned how to open their lockers, navigate their schedules, and transition between classes. As a staff, we are excited to jump into another week of Deep Learning on Monday. Please remember to send your student with a water bottle and sunscreen as we take advantage of outdoor learning daily.
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback you would like to share with me, I'd love to hear from you. I'm looking forward to a great school year!
Best,
Mr. Cady
Principal, Manitou Springs Middle School
